A genre of game that BlogNomic has never really considered is arcade action-puzzle video games, things like Tetris, Puzzle-Bobble, Dr Mario, Wilmot’s Warehouse, or indeed, the original Donkey Kong, in which a giant ape yeeted barrels at an oncoming plumber. This dynasty will consider that space - how to systematise, in a blog format, the sense of ordering, sorting and evading, with or without the pressure of a ticking clock, while playing as policemen of Scotland Yard on the trail of a rogue cooper and his barrel cannon. Certainly more of a sandbox dynasty than anything else.

Score 3. This feels a little hallucinatory. Is Donkey Kong really an action-puzzle game? Is the dynasty simulating an existing format from videogaming, or creating an unregulated sandbox? Is it about coppers or coopers?
